Ask HN: Why is web development such a daunting task? 5 by pbjsandwich | 4 comments on Hacker News. Hey there, This is kind of a random question, but I figured I might get some help here. How are you all tackling web development? I am a fairly experienced programmer, though, with very little to no experience in the web realm; the closest I have gotten to the web is writing APIs for a few things, e.g. state machines to manage packages through a shipping network, etc. I have mostly worked with C, Java, Scala, and Haskell. I have toy projects with other languages like Lisp and Go. Toy with a new language by writing a simple database? I can do that. Write a web app? I've run away many times... it all feels so daunting. Has anyone else experienced this? What is your advice? I have considered Java and Go since I have experienced with both languages.

I created a small 2D game engine named Tiny. The engine was created using Kotlin Multiplatform and can run on a JVM and JS. Funny things: Games can be created using the programming language Lua. Tiny is designed to help you create and test your ideas quickly and effectively. Not only can you run your games on your desktop computer, but you can also export them for the web, making it easy to share your creations with others. You can create games easily with the hot reload, small API and Lua, which is very easy to learn. If you want to test a game idea, to try to create your first game or just have fun, give it a try to Tiny.

Ask HN: Any privacy-preserving minimalist phone launchers for Android? 2 by yakkomajuri | 1 comments on Hacker News. I came across "minimalist phone" [1] and really like the idea. However, its Privacy Policy does not spark joy. In fact, I haven't found great alternatives that don't send your data to Google. Would love recommendations of open source/privacy-preserving alternatives. Although, thinking about it now - the data it could collect about what apps I use, when, and how is probably something Google has access to anyway on Android phones? :D [1]: https://ift.tt/gfRMeqw

Ask HN: How to Cope with Pressure to be the best? 3 by imheretolearn | 0 comments on Hacker News. Being raised in an Asian household, my siblings and I were always expected to be the best at everything we do. Having lived under the pressure of being the best at everything, I have internalized the behavior. If I’m reading a book, I want to squeeze every last bit of knowledge and apply it so that I can be the best at whatever the book is teaching. If I’m playing chess, I optimize for winning every game. The only acceptable goal I set for myself is being number 1 not number 2 or 3. Because of this, I cannot enjoy any activity. I want to read just for kicks and the joy of understanding a new topic. I want to play chess so that I can understand every strategy even if it means I will lose some games. But I am unable to do so. Has anyone else experienced this? What are some strategies to deal with self set high goals and pressure?

Ask HN: Is Rust worth investing in as a reliable C-alt given its recent saga? 2 by behnamoh | 4 comments on Hacker News. I've been programming in high-level languages for a while and recently I was thinking about learning something more bare metal. Rust stood out as one of the popular C/C++ alternatives. But for me, the investment in a language is driven by not just the beauty of the language itself, but the community around it. As an outsider who's keeping an eye on Rust, am I better off sticking to vanilla C/C++?

Ask HN: How to organize archived webpages locally? 3 by linuxfan2718 | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've been going through 100's of bookmarks I made over the years, all carefully tagged and organized, but a lot of the pages are taken down. I want to start archiving them locally, probably using Firefox's "Save Page As..." feature. Do people here do this, how do you organize and tag them? Folders aren't perfect because some pages deserve multiple tags.

Ask HN: Is there a web browser, that's just a browser? 3 by websap | 5 comments on Hacker News. Edge, Firefox, Brave and Chrome are now trying to become more than web browsers. They are trying to control the user experience by pushing ads, services, and their own agenda for how the web should be. Brave tries to do some odd crypto rubbish that I couldn't care about less. I've now switched over to Safari, with content blockers, my password manager and 1 Blocker to block ads. It seems like Apple is the only company that somewhat cares about user privacy, every other company would trade their users' data in for a quick buck. Any other open source browsers that are just browsers?

Otherwise, if colocation isn't available but you have any other recommendations for something that meets this description, I'd like to hear about it.

Ask HN: Tech to build a self-contained appliance that lasts 20 years 3 by disqard | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN folks, What, in your opinion, would be a good hw+sw platform to build an appliance (offline, not cloud-connected in any way) that could conceivably keep working for another ~20 years? For context, I used to live near a drawbridge, and its motion was controlled for 30+ years by a DOS-based computer (https://ift.tt/XiJqKbC). I'm sure there are very knowledgeable folks here, who might have built such long-lived systems, and I'd love to hear about platforms that are (relatively) future-proof. Thanks!

My cofounder and I used to work at Robinhood where we shipped the company’s first OAuth integrations, so we know a lot about how data moves between companies. For example, we know that the pain of building new API integrations scales with the fragmentation in the industry. In the current meta, we see this pain with a lot of AI startups who invariably need to connect to their customers data, but have to support 50+ integrations before they even scale to 50+ customers. This is the process for an AI startup to add a new integration for a customer: - Pore over the API docs for each source application and write a connector for each - Play email tag to find the right stakeholders and get them to share sensitive API keys, or give them an OAuth app. It can take 6+ weeks for some platforms to review new OAuth apps - Normalize data that arrives in a different formats from each source (HTML, XML, text dumps, 3 different flavors of markdown, JSON, etc) - Figure out what data should be vectorized, ...

YC Interviews only 10 minutes long? 5 by spie2005 | 2 comments on Hacker News. It seems YC interviews have a super high degree of randomness. Woke up with an allergy/headache and saw its not possible to reschedule the interview. Additionally my field is a bit niche and requires some explaining. A 10 min interview (in the midst of like 30 interviews daily) seems totally insufficient to have a proper discussion about my idea. Feels like interviewers themselves don't have a good idea of what startups will work or not and just pick which personalities they vibe with in 10 mins. tldr; How can YC be a good signal on founders if they only speak with them for 10 mins?

In short, I just received a nice proposal to work on a new contract, the potential customer sent me a "document" with the project specs which turned out to be a password-protected compressed file with some pictures and a ".exe" file inside. I submitted the executable to virustotal which reports this as a trojan (https://ift.tt/RObIXmK), seems like this takes screenshots and steals browser data which can be used for other purposes later. Anyway, be cautious with proposals you receive. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36023656 Points: 10 # Comments: 0 from Hacker News: Front Page https://ift.tt/xywHKha via IFTTT

What are some interesting areas of math to study beyond calculus? 2 by chillpenguin | 3 comments on Hacker News. I am a typical computer science person, having studied the typical math topics an undergraduate would study. The topic area I spent the most time on (besides computer science) would be calculus. I have been out of college for a few years, but I find myself missing mathematics. What are some topics/areas of math that I didn't know I needed in my life? Doesn't have to be practical, could be purely for intellectual interest. But practical/useful topics would be welcome too of course. Here are some things I have already studied: - Calculus - Differential, Integral, Sequences and Series, Vector (partial differential equations, gradients, Lagrange multipliers) - Statistics and Probability basics - normal distributions, hypothesis testing ("rejecting null hypothesis"), combinations/permutations - Linear Algebra - matrices, vector spaces - Abstract algebra concept...

When OpenAI made its chatbot ChatGPT available to the public in November 2022, it immediately became a hit. However, despite the company's name, the underlying algorithm isn't open. Furthermore, ChatGPT users require a connection to OpenAI's cloud service and face usage restrictions. In the meantime, several open-source or freely available alternatives have emerged, with some even able to run on consumer hardware. Although they can't match ChatGPT's performance yet, rapid advancements are occurring in this field, to the extent that some people at the companies developing these artificial intelligence (AI) models have begun to worry. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/JAr4VSn via IFTTT

Ask HN: What cheaper cities are the best? 4 by bedobi | 0 comments on Hacker News. Today, like any other day, there are top posts and threads about relocating, remote work etc on the front page. Lots of people are moving from more expensive cities to cheaper ones. But which are the best cheaper cities, especially for those who do value cities that aren't just full of retirees or mostly tech workers? I'll go first: I was pleasantly surprised by Durham NC when I visited there. It's small but fairly vibrant for its size, with plenty of young people and people of diverse backgrounds and livelihoods. (ie not just mostly tech workers, lol) For a North American city, it's fairly walkable and bikeable, and it's on an Amtrak line that can take you to neighboring cities and the entire East Coast. Cost of housing is reasonable, and because it's in the "Research Triangle", there is a viable local job market for academics and professionals, so techies don't ne...

Ask HN: Is this is a new kind of war? 5 by prmph | 3 comments on Hacker News. Today I read a headline in the NY Times[1]: > Ukraine and Russia Agree to Extend Black Sea Grain Deal. Meanwhile Russia is raining deadly missiles on Ukraine, who are fighting back with all they've got. I'm struggling to think of another conflict where the combatants were this cooperative with each other. Also, the war is probably the first major conflict between large nations that is being streamed live as it is happening. Which is to say, the war is really weird. 1. https://ift.tt/UTkemfu

Ask HN: Suggested NON-FFmpeg GPU accelerate video pipelines? 2 by 71a54xd | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm working on a project that needs to leverage very fast video resizing and blurring. I can do this with fast enough CPU's with complex filters in FFMPEG but I'm running into the upper limit of what FFMPEG can handle in terms of nVidia acceleration. Specifically, with how slow blurring is on CPU and the fact that OpenCL / Vulkan blurring "filters" are basically no longer actively supported. Their license is also kind of insane, so I'm curious other than building my own bespoke pipeline if anyone else has suggestions for rust / go high performance video manipulation libraries or sdk's that leverage nVidia GPUs? Thanks!

Neucards is an end-to-end encrypted contact information sharing and updating iOS app that protects your identity while letting you keep in touch with people. I started working on neucards as a side project more than ten years ago, and I decided three years ago to go full-time and try to build a community around it. There are two major problems that neucards addresses. First, most people end up with contact lists that are hopelessly out of date. Over time, people move, change jobs, or add social profiles and unless they tell you, chances are you could lose touch. Second, your contact information ends up in the wrong hands. There has been a huge increase in robocalls, unsolicited emails, data breaches, and online scams that is driven by accessing a person's contact info. Even worse, with AI now being able to imitate a person's voice or other mannerisms, knowledge about the connections you have with others can be used against you. Neucards automatically updates your contact inform...

Ask HN: Any tech help out there for a techno-thriller inspired by post on HN? 3 by richardatlarge | 3 comments on Hacker News. A year after reading an article about Project Sapphire posted on HN — https://ift.tt/EmbRQAd — I have completed a draft of a novel that’s a bit technical in parts. I read somewhere about how Andy Weir — author of ‘The Martian’ — received such help from readers of his novel before publication. This was after making it available to read for free on his blog (while he searched the universe for a literary agent). The topic of the novel here is nuclear explosives, not botany and mechanical engineering. It challenges the idea that an improvised nuclear device designed and built by a rogue individual (or individuals) would necessarily be unwieldy and crude. The story revolves around a Russian kid who develops an unhealthy obsession with engineering and nuclear tech. It’s rooted in two true historical events: 1. Project Sapphire: a 1994 covert operation of the US gove...

Hey HN, my name is Vikas, and my cofounders Rish, Gabe and I are building Openlayer: http://openlayer.com/ Openlayer is an ML testing, evaluation, and observability platform designed to help teams pinpoint and resolve issues in their models. We were ML engineers experiencing the struggle that goes into properly evaluating models, making them robust to the myriad of unexpected edge cases they encounter in production, and understanding the reasons behind their mistakes. It was like playing an endless game of whack-a-mole with Jupyter notebooks and CSV files — fix one issue and another pops up. This shouldn’t be the case. Error analysis is vital to establishing guardrails for AI and ensuring fairness across model predictions. Traditional software testing platforms are designed for deterministic systems, where a given input produces an expected output. Since ML models are probabilistic, testing them reliably has been a challenge. What sets Openlayer apart from other companies in the space ...

Ask HN: Want to donate cloud credits for AI safety research? 2 by jakobov | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hey there! I am working on AI safety research. Specifically, I am working on trying to understand what is going on inside LLMs (interpretability). I am wondering if anyone has extra cloud credits (AWS/Google Cloud/Azure) they don't want which I would use to further the research. Until now I have been using a bunch of AWS credits that I won from an AI hackathon but unfortunately, those are expiring soon. Thanks!

Ask HN: Hybrid or Full EV Car in Flyover States for 2023 (US) 4 by droobles | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hello fellow Hackers who read News, My wife and I are about done with our ICE cars that are both coincidentally reaching their end of life. We're thinking about trading in the cars and taking advantage of 2023 tax credits towards an EV or Plug-In Hybrid. My only reservation with going all-out on a full EV car is we like to road trip around the South (Ozarks, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, etc) and we live in a decently sized city the Midwest; we're not confident that our region and where we like to travel has a reliable charging network. A lot of opinions I've seen on Reddit, for example, seem to be mostly from people out West or North East where there are very strong charging networks. EV and Plug-in Hybrid/Traditional Hybrid owners who drive around the Midwest and Rust belt, what do you think? Also, I'm fine with encouraging a general discussion on the state of EV a...

Hey HN, would appreciate feedback on a version control for data toolset I am building, creatively called the Data Manager. When working with large repositories with data, full checkouts are problematic. Many git-for-data solutions will create a new copy of the entire datasets for each commit and none of them allow contributing to a data repo without full checkouts, to my knowledge. In the video, a workflow that does not require full checkouts of the datasets and still allows to commit changes in Git is presented. Specifically, it becomes possible to check out kilobytes to commit changes to a 130 gigabyte repository, including versions. Note that only diffs are committed, at row, column, and cell level, so the diffing that appears in the GUI will seem weird, since it will interpret the old diff as the file to be compared with the new one, when in fact they are both just diffs. The goal of the Data Manager is to version datasets and structured data in general, in a storage-efficient way,...

Happy Teacher's Appreciation Week to All the CS Teachers 12 by alexdanilowicz | 5 comments on Hacker News. I have tremendous admiration for all teachers, especially computer science teachers who (presumably) could make more money working as engineers in the industry, but instead choose to educate others and help them chase their dreams. You are an inspiration and thank you! I hope that people recognize the importance of education and, especially in the United States, start to value education more. I worry that most education in the U.S. will become privatized because budgets continue to be cut and good teachers decide to leave for other opportunities. Thoughts?

Ask HN: I have many gaps between jobs: should I quit being a software engineer? 4 by throwaway_gaps | 1 comments on Hacker News. I graduated after 2008 from a good undergrad program. My work history since then has a lot of gaps in employment. The longest I have been at a job has been just under 2 years. Most of the time, I waited over a year in between jobs except for one time where I was recruited to the next job via a referral from a colleague. I’ve really tried to look inside myself to see what went wrong in the jobs that didn’t work out. One thing that I should say is that I have depression: I take medication and see a doctor, and I was first diagnosed after my first full-time job. Apart from one company that genuinely laid off many people in quick succession including myself, the other companies where I worked all fired me many months after I had been working there. On three of the occasions, the manager who originally hired me had moved onto a different team/got promoted/was reo...
